The doctors wanted to put her on Dyalisis, but she has a DNR, and just wants to go. She had a massive stroke about 4 years ago, and she's been deteriorating ever since. We know she's going to die, we've called hospice, and she's home now. I was just wondering a couple of different things. 1. If her kidneys are functioning at 3.9, how much worse can they get? Does it go up to 5? 10?
and 2. The doctors at the ER told us that she has a month, maybe 2. Does this sound correct?

Again, please list sources. Thanks so much.
